Original with Gene Wilder
vs
Revised with Johnny Depp
saw the revised edition last night, and i have to say i wasnt really impressed at all. the original is a classic with songs and merry characters and where the poverty stricken look poverty stricken and the rich look like they're rich and well all the characters look like they should.
this new revised version doesnt. Violet coems with her mum to the factory instead of her dad and Violet is a karate expert kid who also chews lots of gum (WTF), Veruca is still obnoxious, but the original character was much more fitting. Verucas dad Mr Salt, was also much more fitting in the original version then this remake. Mike Teevee's character has been updated to him being a pc/shootemup freak instead of a Wild West cowboys and TV freak. Augustus looks like the original and is probably the only character a bit more suited because he talks more then fat fcuk did before :)
Johnny Depp as willy wonka is a bit of a freak really, forget the hot boy image that all the ladies put him into, he looks like some AIDS ridden Joker/Marilyn Manson character. Totally not working either, Gene wilder may have been a bit cookey, but much more suited to this roll.
the colours used are no-where near as effective and the people like slugworth and the eerieness about it all just isnt there, and instead Willy has a complex about his father whio was a dentist and its all pretty 'family orientated' and lame.
The oompaloompas songs are compared to the originals, and these new oompa's look more like indian dwarves then they do Oompa Loompa's.
It takes elements from the book and the old movie and moves them into a pretty horrid remake of this classic movie.
Soups gives this a big thumbs down..
but check it out to compare :)
p.s - i dont know why i wrote this, but i was bored at work! |
